Description
The SiPM-on-Tile technology was adopted by several calorimetry systems
of ePIC, including the forward and backward hadronic calorimeters (1.5 < η <
3.0), the high granularity insert (3.0 < η < 4.0) and the Zero-Degree Calorime-
ter (ZDC, η > 6.0). We developed a ZDC prototype to validate the design and
evaluate its performance with low-energy particles. Beam tests conducted at
Jefferson Lab (JLab) and ongoing evaluations at the NASA Space Radiation
Laboratory (NSRL) have characterized the prototype’s capabilities. This pre-
sentation will highlight the JLab beam test results and provide an update on
the current status of testing at NSRL.
